I’ve been trawling through some mobile sites to find features I like.
Previously I published probably my favourite 15 mobile features but here’s 30 more I like to see on the smaller screen.
As ever, check out the Econsultancy Mobile Web Design and Development Best Practice Guide for more guidance and come to the Festival of Marketing in London, November 12-13th, to learn more.
Right, let’s get stuck in with the screenshots!
